KUNA, Idaho Bond has been set at $300,000 for a Kuna man accused of sexually abusing a 9-year-old girl.
Garrett Charles Mallery, 47, is facing one felony count of lewd conduct with a minor in the case.
Detectives began investigating Mallery on Dec. 14 after being contacted by a relative of the young victim. The family member reported that Mallery had had sexual contact with the girl multiple times since April at a home in the Linder and Deer Flat roads neighborhood.
Prosecutor Dylan Asbury said during Mallery s Wednesday afternoon arraignment that the victim attended an in-home daycare run by Mallery s wife. The 9-year-old told a school counselor that the suspect had touched her inappropriately, the prosecutor said.
